Why wont my Google history dropdown search menu work.

Since changing to Firefox 4

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar or the Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

Why does using Google in the search bar (and only Google) not let me open search results in the same tab?

Hello,
When I use Google in the search bar, I have to open the search results in a new tab. If I simply click on them to open in the current tab, I'm inevitably redirected right back to the main Google site. This has only started happening in the past month or two -- I'm considering switching to Chrome after 5 years with Firefox because of this. Please help! It's incredibly frustrating to consistently have to remind myself to open all search results in a new tab. It's quite a waste of time over the course of a day.
Here are the basic steps:
1) I do a search using Google in the search bar.
2) As is supposed to happen, the search returns results in the current tab.
3) When I click on a result link, I'm immediately sent back to www.google.com.
4) If I hit back to try to return to the search results, I'm taken to the page that was loaded BEFORE I even did the search.
5) If, and only if, I instead right-click or Mouse3 click on the search results and open them in a new tab, I can successfully go to the search result pages.
--Thank you

Why aren't google or yahoo searches responding in this beta edition?

When I try to do a search nothing happens or I cannot even type in the field. Previously I had no problems before this beta test! The screen has mozilla as the first bar line, yahoo as the second bar line and google or yahoo as the big screen search with a blank space to type in but nothing happens after that. I'm not a wiz but something is certainly not working. I have a laptop with windows vista and don't know what to do! I can access yahoo mail and facebook without any problem. Should I just uninstall this beta test of mozilla? And how?

Firefox 3.6.13 - Why, when I use the dropdown File menu to open a new window, does FF open my Home Page tabs? All I want is a blank page.

I have four tabs in my home page:
2 - https://mail.google.com/mail/;
1 - http://us.mg5.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch;
1 - http://www.facebook.com/login.php
When I use the "File" drop-down menu I want only a blank page, but I get the four tabs. How go I get other New Windows to open as blank pages?

A new window open by default with the Home page(s), tabs open a blank page.
The only ways to avoid opening a new window with the home page is either to set the home page to about:blank (ie disabling the home page) or use a bookmark with the location set to about:blank and use Shift + left-click to open that link in a new window.

Why won't any of my search engines work? Typing a web address in works just fine but when searching through google, yahoo, bing, etc. it freezes up.

When trying to use a search engine, it is constantly "thinking" and eventually times out. All search engine's are doing the same thing.

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Template:clearCookiesCache/ Clear Cookies & Cache]
* [[How to clear the cache#w_clear-the-cache|Clear the Network Cache]]
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Check and tell if its working.

Why doesn't copy command in context menu work?When you

When you right-click on a song and scroll down to copy and select, the paste function is not enabled. So you literally can't copy a song from within your itunes library to a folder. You have to instead go to the extra step and right-click show in finder and then copy the song. Why is this? And why does copy function work on a Windows based PC. Why bother having this copy function in the context menu if it is useless?

For some reason when I do the same thing, but also pass in the id of a gmaps marker it doesn't work :'(

Why wont the SSD from my 2011 MBP work right away in my 2012 MBP?

I have a 2011 MBP running a Samsung SSD 470 without a problem.
I swapped the SSD into my new 2012 MBP which is, apart from the yearly updates (2.3 i5 to 2.5 i5 processor and RAM speed increase from 1333 to 1600) exactly the same computer. I expected to literally carry on using it from where I left off in the 2011 model but the 2012 machine will not boot with this drive in it.
Why?

actually i own a late 2011 Macbook Pro and I bought my niece a new 2012 Macbook Pro....
gave her one of my old Kingston V200 128GB SSD to give her speed....
It booted but kept on crashing and the startup is very slow...So i did an internet recovery install....And now it's working great...
came to a conclusion ( i may be wrong ) - because my 2011 is a Sandy Bridge Processor/Chipset combo and the 2012 is the new Ivy Bridge Processor/Chipset combo was the issue...After a clean install, everything was fine...
I understand you're hesitant about doing a clean install because you don't have it backed up....
Try booting with the original drive to see if your sata cable is fine just to eliminate your sata cable as defective...

Why wont the centre of my ipod touch work?

i just got a ipod, but it is a re-furbshed one, and the centre of the screen and the top line of the keyboard won't work... i have tried re loading it and re starting, but it just lets me type everything else except that top line...help pleasee?!? xxx

If you restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and still have the problem, it is like caused by a hardware problem. If you are within the warranty period go back to the people who sold it to you. Otherwise, including if you purchased it from Apple, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Why does Firefox impose Google as a search engine in it's home page?

Why does Firefox impose Google as a search engine in it's home page?

I've found Firefox to be very unstable when it comes to choosing a different home page & search engine, frequently ignoring my choices & reverting to the default settings between launches. This also applies to Google & the choice of language if it's different to that of the country the person's in, which is my main gripe with Google, it doesn't detect the language of the operating system but that of the geographical location, forcing one to alter the settings every time, which is extremely annoying! Please do something about all this if possible, thanks.

Why wont google toolbar work with fire fox 5????? also how can i get firefox 4 back so i can use the toolbar???

Hello,my question is why wont google toolbar work with firefox 5?????
Also how can i get firefox 4 back so i can use the toolbar???

This page is an easier way to download Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0&os=win&lang=en-US , as this links starts the download process asap.
I needed to upgrade to Firefox 4.0+ for an add-on that I really needed. However, I can't use Firefox 5.0, as I randomly checked 3 add-on's I had: "Firefox PDF", "Delicious Bookmarks" and "After the Deadline", and none of them worked with Firefox 5.0. In fact, I will have to download alpha versions, etc., to get these add-ons to work with Firefox 4.0.
